Crickets

Although crickets can bite, they do not always puncture the skin. Diseases can be spread through their bite. Crickets carry a large number of diseases and have the ability to cause painful sores, that aren’t fatal to humans.

There are over 900 species of crickets.

Crickets can survive in several habitats.

Crickets are usually 1 to 2 inches (5 cm) long.

Their antennas can detect movement of the prey and facilitate finding of food.

Their eyes consist of large number of lenses which ensure visualization of different pictures at the same time.

Only male crickets can produce sounds (songs).

Some species can live under ground and under trees.
